Jefferson Lab will host an international workshop on
accelerator science and technology for future electron-ion
colliders, from March 17 to 21, 2014.

An electron-ion collider is likely to be one of the future
large accelerator facilities for high energy and nuclear
physics. Presently, there are five proposals under active
development worldwide. They are LHeC at CERN and ENC at GSI in
Europe; eRHIC at BNL and MEIC at JLab in the USA; and HIAF at
IMP in China. Each of these proposed facilities covers a
distinct energy range and adopts either ring-ring or
linac(ERL)-ring collider scenarios. In order to deliver high
machine performance to satisfy the science needs, an array of
advanced accelerator concepts and technologies has been
integrated into each of the accelerator designs. However,
these facility proposals share many common accelerator R&D
elements, such as energy recovery linacs (ERLs), beam cooling,
polarized sources and polarized beams. Collaborations among
the researchers working on these facility proposals are
emerging and growing. This workshop will provide a forum for
exchanging new ideas, concepts, and progress in accelerator
technology development for electron-ion colliders.
